Batam Trip
(20th December to 22nd December)
We went to Batam for a short trip (3 days 2 nights) this time round with his colleague + family.
Just as well, this December holidays were pretty packed and we can't go away any longer than that; 23rd Dec will be Keane's concert, 25th Dec is SSA 80th General Meeting at SIS and 26th Dec is the entrance day. Hence a short getaway is better than nothing.
I have never been to Batam while hubby had been there twice for his company's retreats. We hired a driver so getting around was not much of a problem.
Actually there are quite a few places of interests such as the Tua Pek Kong, Vietnamese Refugee Centre etc, but we didn't go there as our main motive there was R&R as well as shopping, and time was really not enough. Hubby said we'll go there again on our own next time and will go to those places that I wanted. It's ok anyway, I'll just tag along.
We stayed at Holiday Inn Resort Batam and it was really good. As it is a resort, there are many facilities such as spa, gym, children's playground, pool etc. Didn't really make full use of the facilities due to tight schedule... Quite a pity... Bu well, at least Keane had fun with Aini and Aida, and that's the most important.
PS: For all the pictures including the hotel and resort's surroundings, see Facebook photo album.
At Harbour Front.
We had breakfast at Macdonalds.
In the ferry.
Brought Keane up to the deck with the intention to see the view and a breather,
but we stayed there less than 5 minutes because there were many smokers up there...
Had seafood for dinner.
Nagoya Hill for shopping.
